Brazil were favourites going into the semi-final with Joachim Low’s side, and were widely expected to go on to lift the trophy on home soil.

However, Selecao found themselves 4-0 down after 30 minutes and lost the tie 7-1, leaving Ozil apologetic to Luiz and his team-mates for the nature of the defeat.

“All the players, me as well, were a little bit surprised,” Ozil said. “After 20 mins it’s 4-0 and you’re like ‘What’s happened here?’.

“If you lose a big game and you see all the fans outside crying and the players crying, you feel with them. So I went to David Luiz and said ‘I really apologise, you have a nice country and nice people’.
